When Winslet revealed her son’s name, she also made clear that he would take her last name and not her husband’s. On the February cover of Glamour U.K., the actress confirmed their decision. “It was always going to have my name,” she said.

The 38-year-old’s two other children, Mia, 13, and Joe, 10, also have her last name. “It would be weird if this baby didn’t,” Winslet said. “Of course we’re not going to call it RocknRoll. People might judge all they like, but I’m a grown-up.”

If Winslet’s response seems stern, perhaps it’s due to the critical reaction she received from the press when she married for the third time and welcomed her third child.

“No one has a right to comment on anyone’s life or the choices I do or don’t make. It’s very easy to be judgmental until you know someone’s truth. People have no idea at all,” she said. “It baffles me, truly, that you can publicly treat a person like that. It’s not very nice.”

The press reaction, however, has not dampened the excitement she and husband Ned share over the birth of their son. “All our families are so excited [about Bear]. And it’s Ned’s first baby — I can’t wait for that bit, actually.”

In a 2008 interview with Parade, Winslet discussed her parenting style. “Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears.

“For my own children, I do want for them to look back and remember that it was me in the kitchen, that I was doing the packed lunches, that we were there on the school run, that we did take a bus,” she said. “I want them to remember those things, because those are the things that I remember from my own childhood and that have been incredibly important to me. I also think that those are the things that children need in order to become normal kids. I don’t want them to feel that they are any different because of my job.”

While Bear is just a newborn, Winslet’s oldest child Mia is now a teenager. In a recent interview with Psychologiesmagazine, the actress opened up about parenting in the digital age.

“We live in a world where we have to be aware of all this stuff, unfortunately. And it’s feeding this young generation in a way that’s beyond terrifying, so normal friendships aren’t even normal friendships anymore because, half the time, they seem to be forging relationships with people they’ve never met.”

And just as social media has changed the landscape for teenagers, it has also impacted young Hollywood, often creating insurmountable pressure. “It’s really rough now,” she continued. “I think, for young actors, actresses and pop stars, it’s a nightmare.”

“I mean, you think about someone like Miley Cyrus,” Winslet continued. “And I said to my daughter the other day, ‘I’m this close to opening my mouth about what’s going on with that girl’. Who is actually saying, ‘Stop for a second, what do you want, who are you?'”

Like Cyrus, Winslet rose to fame as a teen, but credits sense of self with her ability to stay grounded. “I’ve just been very lucky that I’ve always been quite comfortable with who I am. Sometimes people ask, ‘What do you wish for your children?’ and all I say is, ‘I want them to be happy being them’.”
